NFL suspended Cardinals ILB Daryl Washington four games for violating the league's substance abuse policy.
An emerging NFL superstar, Washington amassed 134 tackles, nine sacks, and two forced fumbles across 16 starts last season, displaying highly explosive pass-rush ability and range as a run defender. The loss of Washington is a huge blow to Arizona, which may be forced to start special teamer Lorenzo Alexander next to Jasper Brinkley to open the season. New Cardinals coordinator Todd Bowles' defense will begin the year missing one of its best three players.
